Sports, Cricket: Star India batter Virat Kohli expressed his disappointment with the BCCI's new rule restricting presence of families during team India's tours

Star Indian batter Virat Kohli has emphasised the importance of having families accompany players on team India’s tours, saying that their presence helps maintain balance and normalcy, particularly during challenging times.

Champions Trophy 2025: Glenn Phillips’ stunning one-handed catch sends Virat Kohli packing - WATCH

<p>A successful producer and actress Anushka Sharma will now be awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award for her contribution to the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>The award will be handed out by a Mumbai-based organisation called the Dadasaheb Phalke Foundation. It is different from the Government of India instituted and recognised Dadasaheb Phalke Award -- awarded during National Awards ceremony held annually in New Delhi -- and is India’s highest cinematic honour.</p>

<p>The Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award will be awarded to Anushka who was recently seen in her home production horror film<em> Pari </em>for experimenting with new stories and ideas as a film producer. Her company called Clean Slate Films, co-owned by her brother Karnesh Sharma, ventured into production with critically and commercially successful <em>NH10</em>.</p>

<p>Starting off on her own as a producer at the age of 25 when she was a number of hit-films-old, Anushka became the youngest producer with an eye for quality content and entertaining cinema. The Clean Slate Films is now three home productions old -- all three of which won critical and commercial success.&nbsp;</p>

The Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence award is different from the Government of India instituted Dadasaheb Phalke Award, awarded during National Awards ceremony every year

A successful producer and actress Anushka Sharma will now be awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award for her contribution to the entertainment industry. The award will be handed out by a Mumbai-based organisation called the Dadasaheb Phalke Foundation. It is different from the Government of India instituted and recognised Dadasaheb Phalke Award -- awarded during National Awards ceremony held annually in New Delhi -- and is India’s highest cinematic honour. The Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award will be awarded to Anushka who was recently seen in her home production horror film Pari for experimenting with new stories and ideas as a film producer. Her company called Clean Slate Films, co-owned by her brother Karnesh Sharma, ventured into production with critically and commercially successful NH10. Starting off on her own as a producer at the age of 25 when she was a number of hit-films-old, Anushka became the youngest producer with an eye for quality content and entertaining cinema. The Clean Slate Films is now three home productions old -- all three of which won critical and commercial success. #ShashiWasThere with us 1 year ago & she's probably still around!
